More residents could be able to apply for a city centre parking permit.
A report to the City Growth and Infrastructure Committee recommends expanding eligibility for the scheme to additional streets.
It is proposed that residents living in properties on the following streets be included within the City Centre Resident Parking Permit Scheme:
- Wishart Place
- Ladywell Avenue
- Johnstone’s Lane
- West Port
- Old Hawkhill (east of Hunter Street)
Eligibility for the scheme was originally approved by committee, with subsequent amendments also requiring committee approval.
Councillors are also being asked to approve a recommendation that the head of sustainable transport and roads is able to make minor variations in the future, while still consulting with the convener and relevant elected members.
Committee convener Cllr Steven Rome said: "We receive requests from residents to be able to join the city centre parking permit scheme and this proposal helps to tidy up some anomalies that have existed.
"Going forward, this new approach will allow more flexibility to make minor adjustments in the future."
The current city centre permit scheme is operated on a zonal basis, enabling residents to park close to their home address rather than using permits to park in other parts of the city centre after making short vehicle trips.
Additional flexibility is also required to accommodate residents who own electric vehicles (EVs) and require access to dedicated EV charging infrastructure within the city centre.

The committee meets on Monday August 24.
Dundee City Council
Dundee draws skilled workers from a 60-minute catchment population of 640,000 and has a local population of over 140,000. The availability of a large pool of highly skilled labour is a key feature in the Dundee economy. Flexibility in the labour force is currently more prevalent in Dundee than in Scotland as a whole. All forms of labour market flexibility - part-time, temporary employment, self-employment and shift work - are widely operational within the city. Labour force stability in the city is excellent, enabling companies to plan with confidence. Labour turnover levels are less than 5% and absenteeism averages 2%.
